The Colorado Economic Recovery Act
The General Assembly and the Governor developed the Colorado Economic Recovery Act as a means to avoid further cuts in important public services and to expand investments in Colorado’s infrastructure. The Colorado Economic Recovery Act is comprised of two separate but related ballot issues—Referendum C and D. Referendum C (HB05-1194), dealing with the impact of the TABOR amendment on the ability of the state to recover from the recent recession and avoid further cuts in programs, cleared the General Assembly on 4/18/05. The second component, Referendum D, made its way through the General Assembly in May and is the focus of this analysis. Both Referendum D and Referendum C will be considered by voters in November 2005.
